Copacabana (at
the Copa) Barry
Manilow
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more ?
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....they fell in love
(Copa Copacabana)
His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....she lost her love
(Copa. . Copacabana)
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind!
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....don't fall in love
(Copa) don't fall in love
Copacabana

科帕卡貝娜 巴瑞曼尼洛
她名叫蘿拉，一位歌舞女郎
頭髮插著黃色羽毛，衣服露到不行
她會跳拉丁舞和恰恰
她夢想成為大明星，東尼則負責吧台
穿過擁擠的地板，他們從晚上八點工作到凌晨四點
他們還年輕，擁有彼此
人生如此，夫復何求？
在科帕卡貝娜
哈瓦那北方最熱門的據點
在科帕卡貝娜
音樂與激情永遠不褪流行
在科帕卡貝娜，他們墜入了愛河.........
( 科帕卡貝娜......... )
他名叫瑞可，戴著一顆鑽戒
被手下護送到座位上，他看到了正在跳舞的蘿拉
等表演完，他把她叫了過來
但瑞可做得太過份了，東尼從吧台衝了過來
頓時一陣拳打腳踢，桌椅齊飛
在血肉糢糊之後........一聲槍響！
但到底是誰殺了誰........？
在科帕卡貝娜
哈瓦那北方最熱門的據點
在科帕卡貝娜
音樂與激情永遠不褪流行
在科帕卡貝娜，她失去了摯愛.........
( 科帕卡貝娜......... )
她名叫蘿拉，一位歌舞女郎
但那已是三十年前的事，她們通常都有表演的
現在這裡成了迪斯可舞廳，蘿拉也跳不來
她仍然穿著當年的服裝，髮上的羽毛已經褪色
她優雅的端坐著，卻喝到醉醺醺的
她的青春美貌和東尼都已不再
如今，她失了魂、發了瘋.........
在科卡帕貝娜
哈瓦那北方最熱門的景點
在科帕卡貝娜
音樂與激情永遠不褪流行
在科帕卡貝娜，千萬別墜入愛河.........
( 科帕.........別墜入愛河 )
